Jayde Adams, 37, and her pro dance partner Karen Hauer, 40, were eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing last weekend, as the competition heated up. However award-winning comedian Jayde says her journey isn’t over yet, as she clarified in a new interview that her journey of self-exploration is just beginning.
“I’m absolutely having the best time of my life working out who I am and having cheeky snogs with girls, boys, non-binary people, people who are trans,” she revealed candidly to lesbian culture magazine Diva.
Jayde has been praised for her representation of the LGBTQ+ community – and also for size representation, as a curvier woman.
She also defiantly gave Diva her point of view on body positivity, insisting: “If Brian from Kent doesn’t like my thighs, I’m fine about that because I’ve got an Amazon Prime special and my thighs got me here!”
Jayde has been married for the past 15 years to her husband Clayton Wright.

He is an event director and creative producer who specifically specialises in LGBTQ+ events, so the pair’s interests are well matched.
Clayton, who lives with Jayde in Bristol, is also the proud founder of the Body Movements festival.
The pair met in one of the most unusual locations possible – an inflatable church – and they quickly found love.
They are now in the middle of renovating a Victorian terrace house, which they hope will become their long-term home.
Meanwhile, Jayde has spoken of her passion for the dancefloor and insisted she was adamant she would only have a female partner.
The decision was out of respect to her sister – the last person she danced with – who tragically died of a brain tumour in 2011, aged just 28.
The brokenhearted comic and actress revealed on the BBC that the most “bittersweet” aspect of being able to compete on Strictly is that her sister won’t be around to share her successes.
“It’s quite intense, I’ll be honest. It’s a big thing for me and my family that I’m doing it,” she added.
